No text from them. I called up they said a decision had been made but they couldn't tell me what. So I called back and tried my luck and they transferred me to someone who told me😅. The dreaded anxiety ridden wait is over for us for now. Hope yours end soon. Good luck xxx

TashaxJ · 28/05/2025 21:36

@Cuphalfempty amazing!! So pleased for you. Think I’ll ring tomorrow morning again lol xxx

@Kelz23 😔 so frustrating isn’t it, problem is it’s completely out our hands , it’s the not knowing that’s driving me insane

Sausagedogtoddles · 29/05/2025 08:20

@Kirstylou91 called up Tuesday but the person I spoke to didn't give me much except from my date and it's a 25 week wait now

Mum2allgirls · 29/05/2025 08:26

@Sausagedogtoddles I seen a few on Facebook this morning been awarded from late January/ middle of Feb. Definitely isn't done in order but it's not fair when just get told 25 weeks 😫

Kirstylou91 · 29/05/2025 08:28

Sausagedogtoddles · 29/05/2025 08:20

@Sausagedogtoddles I rang Tuesday , she said we don’t need any additional evidence for ur claim we’re just waiting on a decision I was like oooo is it with a DM then she said no so she kind of baffled me then

Sausagedogtoddles · 29/05/2025 08:33

@Kirstylou91 that's ridiculous they should be straightforward really, I've been told all different things on the phone that it's with a case worker then a dm like make up your mind. It's unfair on people waiting anxiety definitely creeps in.

@Sausagedogtoddles Yeahh it doesn’t make sense someone’s obv looked at it kus she said there’s no more evidence required but the process is just so long and draining , I get anxious everytime my phone pings incase it’s the txt saying child entitled to DLA

Sausagedogtoddles · 29/05/2025 08:41

@Kirstylou91 I feel exactly the same, they definitely need a better system. I think I'll call up at 9 and hopefully have some news
